Land Rover Series ICredit: Land RoverThe first effort in the Reborn program, pictured here, was just unveiled at the Techno-Classica in Essen, Germany. Land Rover is being tight-lipped about the price.
It, like the other 25 Series I trucks that will be restored as part of the Reborn initiative, will be a refurbished to original 1948 factory specifications using Land Rover Classic Parts.

Buyers can specify one of five period finishes, including light green, bronze green, RAF blue, dove grey and poppy red.
